Grease 2 (1982)

My Rating

Movie Info

Given the runaway success of Grease, which became the biggest-grossing movie musical of all time, it was all but inevitable that there would be a sequel, and four years later this follow-up brought a new group of kids back to Rydell High. It's 1961, and Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the tough leader of the Pink Ladies, while Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield) is a clean-cut British exchange student. Michael likes Stephanie, but the Pink Ladies' by-laws prevent her from dating guys

PG, 1 hr. 54 min.

Rizzo says "no" to this hacky sequel.

A gloriously unpretentious gem just waiting to be discovered. That the film hasn't yet received the full respect it deserves only adds to its charm.

The only value to be salvaged from this limp carbon copy is in how much of the formulaic worthlessness it exposes of the original Grease.

As far as '50s-styled cornball tributes to heavy-petting go, Grease 2 has got nothing on Prince's "Jack U Off."

Without a doubt the greatest sequel to a Stockard Channing musical starring Adrian Zmed!

Sure, it's nowhere near as good - but you'll forget about that onces the rockin' soundtrack kicks in

Audience Reviews for Grease 2

A horrible sequel to Grease, a classic musical. This one has very silly songs that don't have anything to do with the story. I hate it.

The music was awful, the plot was thick as oatmeal, and the dialouge felt like cheap vinyl. The only thing they did right was cast Michelle Pfeiffer, who's a decent singer and dancer. Otherwise, there's the whole, "A little piece of me died," thing.
